Priya Dutt also shared a heartfelt post with a series of nostalgic photos, she penned down:
“Dad, when you smiled, we knew everything was okay. You were our pillar that one person who stood by us, behind us, and guided us to move forward with the right values of humility, gratitude, compassion, and love. You always taught me that people must remember you by your good work and your good deeds not by your status or money. You have left behind such a legacy that your name is still remembered with love by every person you ever met. That is the true wealth you have earned in your life and beyond. You never wanted anything named after you, or statues built. You didn’t need that, as you are etched in the hearts of the people whose lives you touched and I feel so proud to be your daughter.
I miss you, but you remain with me in all that I do.”
Sunil Dutt passed away in 2005 following a heart attack. He rose to fame with Mother India in 1957 and his others hits include Sujata , Mujhe Jeene Do, Waqt , Padosan , and Reshma Aur Shera.
